The transformation of an area originally used for railway maintenance into a new neighbourhood in the city centre is one of the most important urban development projects being carried out in Bristol. The new St Philips footbridge spans the River Avon contributing to provide the needed accessibility for development to a site previously isolated by several infrastructures and the watercourse. The footbridge is an innovative solution to a complex crossing problem: the connection of two banks with a significant elevation and appearance difference and one of them being developed to high architectural standards faster than the other.
